%0 Book Section %T Concatenating Variational Principles and the Kinetic Stress-Energy-Momentum Tensor publisher Nova Science Publisher %D 2009 %U 978-1-60456-920-9 %@ https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/53257 %X We show how to \concatenate" variational principles over different bases into one over a single base, thereby providing a unifed Lagrangian treatment of interacting systems. As an example we study a Klein Gordon feld interacting with a mesically charged particle. We employour method to give a novel group-theoretic derivation of the kinetic stress-energy-momentum tensor density corresponding to the particle. %~
